I like the colours and the brushes, think that the compoiition is not strong enough because the waterfalls do't approach vrey well.

It is a very strong piece, with some fascinating little details scattered throughout. It shows a lot of potential if a WIP.
The composition and some of the details you've painted are somewhat visually disturbing. The sun is very high-key contrast, making it very dominant in the scene. The giant rock, with its rounded top, is impossible to ignore. But, the man on the right is the same height, with a rounded head shape, so the eye becomes caught in this ping-pong effect. The water splitting around the giant rock emphasizes this back and forth feeling, with the horizontal green of the water, and the black of the distant shore making the journey smoother. It is an unconventional visual Flow in observing the piece, but that may be your intent.
It's very good in rendering and detail, but too dark in overall value. My eye wants to see more of the base of that rock, and some intimation of what type of leaves those are. Flat black just seems incomplete...
Hope this helps some.
